Spooky Synchronicity

I’m so sorry – I’ve let it happen again. I’ve been a little bit quiet on the blog. I knew I was going to be out of action for a little while. I should have prepared a post or two in advance. As my old personal trainer said to me once when I was late to a training session as I was snowed in, it’s just PPP (Pathetically Poor Preparation). To be fair, I was still the only client who turned up that day!

This time it’s because I’ve been in and out of hospital, getting a minor eye operation out of the way. The op went well, the stitches are a little sore but healing well I think, and I have a rather fetching plastic eye patch to wear for a few days. Just call me Pirate Patch Pattni!

As I was showing off my stitches to my brother, he pointed out the spooky synchronicity between me and my pooch. It’s only been a couple of weeks since Simba had a minor eye operation too. And it was on the same side, and in fact was on the same area too. An odd coincidence, you might agree.

But it’s not the first time we’ve been in sickness in synch. Not very long after I had recovered from my first bout with cancer, Simba had a major operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his leg. Shortly after my second round Simba had his second round too. And we both had a final, third, scare a few months apart. When I stop to think about that, it really is spooky synchronicity.

My pooch is clearly tuned in and matching my vibrations, whether they are high or low.

As you know, I’ve been navigating some rough waters recently. Well, I’m convinced that these minor operations have come because life is about to get a whole lot brighter and better for us. We’re moving out of rough seas , we’ve cleared the decks of anything holding us back and we’re being led into calmer waters. And in order for us to enjoy all the goodness we’re about to encounter, our eyesight needs to be crystal clear. Hence the minor eye ops.

Pirate Patch Pattni and Ship’s Mate Simba are ready for the halcyon days ahead – let the good times roll!
